Pray with us and pray for us

To the Faithful Who Pray,

Sandy and I are so thankful for you who have been praying for us. We do remember you and our hearts rejoice when we think about your commitment to remember us in your prayers. On the one hand it is quite humbling, yet on the other hand, it is the foundation on which we minister and share the gospel. Pray for the power of God to be released in ways that will glorify Him and advance His kingdom here on earth. Thank you again for praying.

On Monday evening, May 21st we will be gathering at our home on Culver Road from 7:00-9:00 p.m. to pray for our summer camps and conferences, our many travels with short term teams and the new contacts that we will make in church leaders and youth in Belarus, Poland, Ukraine and Czech Republic. You are invited to come even if you cannot come for the entire time. We hope to see and share with many of you on this evening.

Garage Sale Update: Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! There are so many who have contributed to the Garage Sale with their donations and their time. It has been a huge success because of everyone’s effort and contribution. Bill and Vivian Nylund were fantastic hosts. From the set up, the coffee, the Tent, and Bill’s jokes to the tear down it was God honoring and God pleasing (a sweet aroma to His nostrils). The rainiest day (Thursday, April 26th) saw the most “garage salers” out. It was amazing. We even unloaded Dan and Deb Kelbert’s iron gates and cedar posts to a local farmer. They (the farmers) were so excited to find these at a garage sale. God has blessed us with enough funds to cover 25 children (over $3,000). The Barrieault’s (4688 Kenicott in Brighton) will be extending the Garage Sale this Thursday and Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until noon (May 10-12). You can drop off any thing you would like to contribute to the sale at their home any time this week (preferably by Friday morning).
